Abstract

The article examines the role of the metric in the structural design of the comedy ¿De cuando acá nos vino? by Lope de Vega, highlighting its importance, related, but not subordinated to the spatial changes and other criteria. The careful analysis of the metrical organization allows to note the elaborate technique of Lope, which maintains a remarkable consistency in the scenic, geographic, chronological, theatrical and metric criteria, in the step from one to another macrosequences established in the analysis.
